Yes, from the scientific literature I just looked at, Pisang Ceylan (correct spelling, "Ceylon" is wrong) does have a BSV sequence in its DNA, but apparently doesn't express the disease (at least not often). "Mysore" does express the disease commonly. Hence Pisang Ceylan is considered BSV resistant, whereas "Mysore" is not.

Too bad Gabe is not around to help us out.
